When it comes to jewelry, I'll be the first to admit that I don't really understand it sometimes. Sure, I have personal preferences to styles and colors just like everyone else... but when I read that a celebrity's necklace is reported to cost thousands of dollars, I wonder if it is really worth it. Mariah Carey's $2.5 million engagement ring? Yes, it's definitely pretty... but not exactly something that most of us can expect to be receiving anytime soon.

Instead, us "real people" need to find places to purchase jewelry that can add sparkle or sophistication or whimsy or glamour to our wardrobe without spending the cost of a few houses. So, for everything from simple, elegant wedding bands to elaborate necklaces with bling, the site that has it all (and more) at affordable prices is JewelryPayless.

Founded with the idea of providing the public quality jewelry at lower prices while offering superior customer service, JewelryPayless.com has spent years listening to consumers to continually keep their website the place to shop to find just that. No matter what you are browsing for or how much your budget is, JewelryPayless has something for everyone.

Browsing their site is easy due to the many categories that customers search by - everything from specific items (e.g. rings or bracelets) to Tiffany inspired or Celebrity inspired jewelry, which is a great one. Instead of spending an exorbitant amount of money to duplicate the diamonds that Hillary Swank wore to the Oscars...

Every time I look at these earrings I see a detail that I hadn't noticed before that makes me like them even a little more. The .925 sterling silver and rhodium coating gives them a platinum look and the flower cut center is both intricate and beautifully simple at the same time. The CZ diamonds sparkle just enough to catch your eye but not so much as to look over-the-top or flashy, which is just what I was hoping for.

Also, I've had problems in the past with losing earrings, so the addition of the oval shaped hook back was really great to see. Simply flip the clasp open, slip them on and then snap it closed to ensure a comfortable, yet secure fit. Whether worn with jeans or a nice dress, these Designer Inspired Earrings are the perfect finishing touch for heading out looking like a star.

With jewelry available in gold, silver, cubic zirconia, titanium, ceramic, leather and so many more, JewelryPayless is certain you'll be pleased with your purchase. With that said, they even offer a 90-day warranty and money back guarantee on all of their products and have a customer service team dedicated to answering any questions that you might have. For a fashionable new accessory or a wonderful gift for yourself or a loved one, JewelryPayless has it all.

Plus, thanks to their generosity, one person will get to shop for a hot new piece of jewelry, because...
